CRACK OF DAWN
I HIT THE ROAD
SET MY SHOULDERS
FOR THE HEAVY LOAD
COFFEE LEAKIN'
THROUGH THE PAPER
SACK
THE FOREMAN SAYS
I'M LATE AGAIN
HE CAN'T STAND IT
WHEN I ONLY GRIN
HE'S GOT ME EIGHT
HOURS
SHE'S GOT ME AFTER THAT
I CAN'T WAIT
'TIL IT'S QUITTIN' TIME
SHE'S GOT
SOMETHIN' COOKIN'
FOR ME TONIGHT
SHE KEEPS THE HOME
FIRES BURNING
WHILE I'M OUT
EARNIN' A LIVIN'
IN A WORLD
THAT'S KNOWN
FOR ITS POURIN' RAIN
SHE KEEPS
THE HOME FIRES BURNING
OOH AND IT'S HER
WARM LOVIN'
THAT KEEPS ME
RETURNIN' AGAIN
AND AGAIN
6 BAR
BREAK
OUT OF GAS
JUST MY LUCK
FOUR BALD TIRES
ON MY PICKUP TRUCK
NO MORE CREDIT
ON MY CREDIT CARD
WHEN I COME HOME
AND HIT THAT DOOR
I REMEMBER
WHAT THESE ACHIN'
ARMS ARE FOR
SHE'S MY ONE LIGHT
WHEN THE WORLD
GOES DARK
TOMORROW
IT'S THE SAME OLD GRIND
BUT SHE'LL BE BURNIN'
IN MY MIND
SHE KEEPS
THE HOME FIRES
BURNING
WHILE I'M OUT
EARNIN' A LIVIN'
IN A WORLD
THAT'S KNOWN
FOR ITS POURIN' RAIN
SHE KEEPS
THE HOME FIRES BURNING
OOH AND IT'S HER
WARM LOVIN'
THAT KEEPS ME
RETURNIN' AGAIN
YEAH
8 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
SHE KEEPS
THE HOME FIRES
BURNING
OOH AND IT'S HER
WARM LOVIN'
THAT KEEPS ME
RETURNIN' AGAIN
WHILE I'M OUT
EARNIN' A LIVIN'
IN A WORLD
THAT'S KNOWN
FOR ITS POURIN' RAIN
SHE KEEPS
THE HOME FIRES BURNING
OOH AND IT'S HER
WARM LOVIN'
THAT KEEPS ME
RETURNIN' AGAIN
WHILE I'M OUT EARNIN'
A LIVIN' IN A WORLD
THAT'S KNOWN
FOR ITS POURIN' RAIN
SHE KEEPS
THE HOME FIRES
BURNING
